To Warm Orange Greves.
Advices from Riverside give the particulars of the device for protecting the orange crop from frost recently referred to in these columns. It is believed the device will be worth millions of dollars to the orange growers of that and other sections which are not in the frostless belt. It is well known that Riverside, while leading the orange producing section of Southern California, is not a location which would have been selected for a citrus industry by the original settlers had they possessed the experience of the producers of to-day. Every winter the orange growers there have to resort to the use of tar pots to be lightened on cold who met and talked with the charming gifted actress, who recently essayed d cult Shakespearean roles in vaudeville- ing New York, and carried her season incessfully through. All of us know that she of her profession, of late years chiefly wired on in the English tongue, this eminent native of woolful Poland has won a considerable fortune, and owns a large farm in California, where as great a success as she spear her Shakespeare. However, in addition to farming and acting Madame Modjeska first time to pander to an inordinate taste of books. Fiction, poetry, philosophy and the literature of the age are absorbed with equal avidity by the actress, who is earnest student and surely a linguist of mean order when we consider her conquest of English. But her mood is ever in taut with that of melancholy Jacques and heart-breaking sadness haunts her ever gesture, tone and glance. Not that she seems deliberate or intentional in her grief stricken attitude, for a gentle amiability and admirable philosophy of hers and steals work leaves her small time for sad induces; nevertheless, when off the stage the gifted Polish woman is plunged into profound gloom that if not a characterist of her race, is surely not wholly the result of her country's wrong, but is, ever one of her most potent and interesting charms.
What the War Cost the South.
Some interesting figures have lately been compiled showing how the war of the Revolution crippled the South. When the Southern States seceded their assessed values were 44 per cent of those of the whole country, or $3,200,000,000. But ten years made a wonderful change. In 1870 the South had only $3,000,000,000 of assessed value, while the total for the whole country was $14,170,000,000. While the South grew poor the North and West grew rich as never before. In 1860 the assessed value of property in Massachusetts was $777,150,000.

Advices from Riverside glyc the particulars of the device for protecting the orange crop from frost recently referred to in these columns. It is believed the device will be worth millions of dollars to the orange growers of that and other sections which are not in the frostless belt. It is well known that Riverside, while leading the orange producing section of Southern California, is not a location which would have been selected for a citrus industry by the original settlers had they possessed the experience of the producers of to-day. Every winter the orange growers there have to resort to the use of tar pots to be lighted on cold nights, so as to make a dense smoke or smudge and keep the temperature above freezing. Last Christmas even these methods failed, and the loss to the Rivera valley by that freeze is estimated at $1,000,000, of which one grower, H. B. Everest, who owns the largest bearing naval orange orchard in the world, lost $20,000. Mr. Everest, who was formerly engaged in manufacturing petroleum oils, has been experimenting for several months with other materials for burning in place of tar and brush, and has perfected an apparatus which it is claimed will prevent the frosting of fruit even when the temperature falls as low as eighteen or twenty and remains there for several hours. This heating apparatus has been placed throughout Mr. Everest's eighty-acre grove at a cost of over $2,000, and is being adopted by several other growers. It will not be patented and is a simple device that any horticulturalist may prepare. Briefly described, the contrivance consists of a hundred gallon iron cask on each acre filled with oil, from which two pipes run along between the rows of trees, with half a dozen elbowows to the acre twenty feet apart, over which are flat sheet iron pans into which oil spatters and burns as vaporizes. Burning at the rate of one gallon per burner every hour, an intensely hot flame is made, which rises several feet and creates also a dense smoke, which acts as a smudge. The cost of the plant is about $25 per acre, and the oil should not cost over $7 an acre in the coldest winter. It is believed that this method will eventually be largely used, not only for citrus orchards, but also in growing winter vegetables wherever there is danger of frost.
Saved From Death by Onions.
There has no doubt been more lives of children saved from death in croup or whooping cough by the use of onions than any other known remedy; our mothers used to make poultices of them, or a syrup, which was always effectual in breaking up a cough or cold. Dr. Gunn's Onion Syrup is made by combining a few simple remedies with it which make it more effective as a medicine and destroys the taste and odor of the onion. Fifty cents. Sold at Reid's drag store.
Real Estate Transfers.
The following transfers of real estate have been recorded during the week:
Christoph Halbritter and Luise Halbritter to Franz Baum—6.75 acres lying south of Anaheim; $2,500.
Thomas Strain and Margaret Strain to John Nimmo—8.89 acres in SE4 of section 24 T 3R 10; $3,000.

A Sure Cure for Piles.
Itching piles are known by moisture like perspiration, causing intense itching when warm. This form as well as Blind, Bleeding or Protruding welds can cause irritation.
Some interesting figures have lately been compiled showing how the war of the Red-bellion crippled the South. When the Southern States seceded their assessed values were 44 per cent of those of the whole country, or $3,200,000,000. But ten years made a wonderful change. In 1870 the South had only $3,000,000,000 of assessed value, while the total for the whole country was $14,170,000,000. While the South grew poor the North and West grew rich as never before. In 1860 the assessed value of property in Massachusetts was $777,150,000 compared with $5,200,000,000 in the South; in 1870 Massachusetts had $1,590,000,000 of property, and the South $3,000,000,000. Such was the poverty of the South that the one State of Massachusetts listed for taxes more than one-half as much property as the fourteen States of that section could show. The assessed value of property in New York and Pennsylvania alone in 1870 was greater than in the whole South. South Carolina, which in 1860 had been third in rank in wealth in proportion to the number of her inhabitants had dropped to be the thirtieth; Georgia had dropped from the seventh to the thirty-ninth; Mississippi from the fourth place to the thirty-fourth; Alabama from the eleventh to the forty-fourth; Kentucky from tenth to twenty-eighth; and the other Southern States had gone down in the same way, while the Northern and Western States had steadily increased in wealth. In 1860 the assessed value of property in South Carolina, according to the census, was $498,000,000; while the combined values in Rhode Island and New Jersey aggregated $421,000,000; or $68,000,000 less than South Carolina's; of course the true value is always greater than the assessed value. In 1870 the combined values in Rhode Island and New Jersey amounted to $688,000,000; and the value in South Carolina was $183,000,000. Thus, while South Carolina had $68,000,000 more assessed property in 1860 than these two States, in 1870 their wealth exceeded South Carolina's by $683,000,000. Notwithstanding the mighty industrial advance in the South during the last ten years, the building of 20,000 miles of railroad and the increase in agricultural production,the assessed value of property is not yet as great as it was thirty years ago,and Maryland—a border State—and Florida and Texas are the only States which have as much assessed wealth now as in 1860. These foots and figures are very interesting and throw a flood of light upon the question of the cost of the war to the vanquished. They ought to serve as a warning for all time and emphasize the folly and wastefulness of war in a manner to serve much to prevent its provocation among peoples whose interests ought to be mutual.

Bad for the Vineyards.
Professor George Hausman, special State agent for the Department of Agriculture, and a wine-maker of experience with extensive vineyards in the Napa Valley, reports an extremely discouraging state of affairs among the vineyards of that portion of the State. Phylloxera has been making immense ravages, and it is estimated that in two years there will be no grapes in Napa except those grown on vines grafted on resistant stock. Great and unusual variation of temperature during the past season has also reduced the yield, and the production of wine in the Napa Valley, which in 1891 was over 4,500,000 gallons, bids fair to be less than 1,500,000 gallons in 1892. And the quality is also below the average.
In the northern part of Sonoma county, which is also in the Professor's district, great quantities of grapes were left unpicked owing to the lack of a market, while in the southern part of the county the grape crop was almost a total loss owing to phylloxora.
The crop will not reach one-half the actual value. In Santa Clara county the same condition of things exist, and the promise of one-half a crop will not be fulfilled.
This discouraging condition of affairs, which is generally but in a few localities, has stagnated the wine market. No wine is being offered by the makers and the dealers are not buying on account of the uncertainty of the future.
A Great Liver Medicine.
Dr. Gunn's Improved Liver Pills are a sure cure for sick headache, bilious complaints, dyspepsia, indigestion, costiveness, torpid liver, etc. Three pills insure perfect digestion, correct the liver and the stomach, regulate the bowels, purify and enrich the blood and make the skin clear. They also produce a good appetite and invigorate and strengthen the entire system by their tonic action. They only require one pill for a dose and never gripe or sicken. Sold at 25 cents a box at Reid's drug store.
A Queer Repast.
"I have eaten apples that ripened more than 1800 years ago, broad made from wheat grown before the children of Israel passed through the Red Sea," spread it "with butter that was made when Elizabeth was queen of England, and washed down the repast with wine that was old when Columbus was playing barefoot with the boys of Genoa," was

the remarkable statement by Amaziah
Dukes, a New York broker and a guest at a
St. Louis hotel the other day. "The remarkable spread was given by an antiquary named Goebel, in the city of Brussels in
1871. "The apples were from an earthen jar taken from the ruins of Pompeii, that buried city to whose people we owe our knowledge of canning fruit. The wheat was taken from a chamber in one of the pyramids; the butter from a stone shelf in an old well in Scotland, where for centuries it had lain in an earthen crock in ivory water, and the wine was recovered from old vault in the city of Corinth. There were six guests at the table and each had a mouthful of the bread and a teaspoonful of the wine but was permitted to help himself liberally to the butter, there being several pounds of it. The apple jar had about two-thirds of a gallon and the fruit was sweet and the flavor as fine as though put up yesterday."

Azusa Pomesotropic.
They have been moving heaven and earth to secure the establishment of a beet sugar factory at Anaheim for a year or more. The factory is to be co-operative, and pledges have been secured upon the real estate of the local members of the association to insure its success. Soon after the result of the election was known, a correspondent at Anaheim wrote a San Francisco paper that the scheme had fallen flat on account of the Democratic attitude on the tariff and bounty question. The Gazette denies the story, and says it is a ridiculous and malicious canard; that the factory will be built in time for the next crop, the work of organizing being actually under way now. We hope the people at New Amsterdam will not be disappointed in the building of this sugar refinery, but there is certainly an element of uncertainty in the continuation of the sugar库存, without which such institutions as that at Chino would never be established. A factory at Anaheim would fill the measure of that progressive community's prosperity, and makeuring fruit. This will be the himself to the United States Marshal in Los Angeles last Friday, he having been indicted by the Federal Grand Jury recently upon the charge of having taken a letter from the Pasadena Postoffice on November 30, 1891, addressed to William Vall and containing a check on the San Gabriel Valley Bank for $25; knowing the same was not for him. He was subsequently released upon giving bonds in the sum of $1,500 to insure his appearance for arraignment in the United States District Court on Monday.
On the Edge of Winter.
The rains of the past week and the first white frost have marked the change from autumn to winter. Rather is it a change to the vernal season, for as soon as the rains come the grass starts, the brown hills are changed to a pale omerald, and before Christmas the deep green of the hills gladdens the eye. Buds in the garden begin to swoll. Roses and other flowering plants that have been dormant during the dry season begin to put out hundreds of buds. Everything in the open garden takes on a new life.
Already there are thousands of callas in bloom, which are usually in bloom for Christmas. Heliotrope turns to the sun during the warm days, and blooms as profusely as in May. The season of violets has come, as one may see, says a city contemporary, by the bunches offered on the street. Chrysanthemums go out with the first rain, especially when they are grown in open gardens. They have been in their glory for two months.
When the deciduous trees are stripped of their foliage, the evergreens take on a deeper color. The orange and lemon have taken on new dresses, and one may see the first white blossoms on many of these trees, with maturing fruit. This will be
The Refinery will go Just the Name,
Riverside Press.
The Anaheim Gazette expresses the confident belief that the Democratic administration will not meddle with the sugar bounty, or if it does will provide some arrangement to protect the growing industry of beet sugar making. It says that the proposed Anaheim sugar factory will go on in this expectation, statements to the contrary notwithstanding. We hope its anticipations will be realized, but it is difficult to see how a party so unequivocally and specifically pledged against the subsidy proposition, in which attitude it has the backing of many of the party even where they are cognizant of the benefits gained through it, can do otherwise than overturn the present law. Until something definite is known of what the action will be there is not likely to be an extensive increase in the organization of co-operative sugar factories about which there has been so much talk during the past year.
Hailroad Dining Cars.
Dining cars are generally run at a loss and are attached to trains simply as a matter of attraction. A steward, four cooks and five waiters are attached to each car. The food costs from $1,000 to $1,500 a month. It costs from $16,000 to $22,000 a year to run one of these cars exclusive of the wear and tear on the property and incidentals. In some places, and particularly in the South, sleepers are also run at a loss. A sleeping car leaving New York for Chicago is supplied with 120 sheets, 120 pillow slips and 120 towels. The washing is done in different cities, and is given out in great quantities at the low rate of $1 per 100 pieces. An equipment of linen, which lasts a year, is purchased in amounts of $50,000 worth at a time. One company, for 700 cars, uses every thirty days 2,400 dozen cakes of toilet soap, 1,200 dozen boxes of matches, 35 dozen hair brushes, 50 dozen whisks, 60 dozen combs, and a vast number of sponges and feather dusters. Porters receive from $30 to $50 a month.

When the deciduous trees are stripped of their foliage, the evergreens take on a deeper color. The orange and lemon have taken on new dresses, and one may see the first white blossoms on many of these trees, with maturing fruit. This will be the brightest aspect of "winter" for the next three months. The alternation from sunshine to rain, frosty mornings, serene days when the sea answers to the sky in the depth of its blue, mud on the country roads, but bloom and blossoming everywhere. The monotony of the long summer is gone. The clouds and the rain, the verdure and the new life in nature everywhere are a grateful change.
There is also a new stir of the agricultural season. Plows are working in the fields; the sower has gone forth, not as Millet's sower did, but with his machine, the dumb implement doing the work of many sowers. The seed stores fill up with new customers; the bulbs everywhere invite amateur gardeners to make new investments. The orchardists and viticulturists are looking for new trees and vines, for while the planting season has not begun, and will not until the rains have wet the soil down for a foot or so, one may note the preparatory orders which have already gone to the nurserymen for large stocks of trees. In some former years similar engagements covered all the stock in the hands of leading nurserymen by the first of December. The last fruit season has turned out so well that nursery stock is not likely to be a drug this year.
The first of the winter season is accustomed not only by the ripest and the best of the fruits that come to market from Thanksgiving to Christmas, but by game crowding the markets from all points of the Pacific Coast. Quail, grouse and hares, wild ducks and geese, and an occasional bear, and everything else that flies and runs that is designated as game.
With the first of winter there is the air and the stir of the coming holidays. Preparations goes on in advance. Every bright day for the next four weeks will call thousands to the city who look through the stores, take notes of all the novelties, and begin no lay away things in advance. Even on moist and "sloppy" days the streets are enlivened by throngs whose curiosity is not dampened by the weather.
Winter is welcome for the life that it brings. There is no running away, no fleeing to better climates, because a better one cannot be found. The first of the many thousands who will come here to avoid the rigors of an Eastern winter have already been announced. Many will come in season to attend the great citrus exhibition and learn for themselves that a California winter, even with occasional wet days, is something to welcome and to enjoy.

Last Friday was Evacuation Day. Just 109 years ago the British army which had opposed the citizens of New York during the latter days of the revolution, marched down to the battery and, boarding their vessels, sailed for home.
As the last of the British soldiers embarked the American army marched down the street, headed by General George Washington, and New York was a free city. Each year the anniversary is celebrated by an organization known as the Society of the Sens of the Revolution and by other organizations.
Getting on the Police.
"Well, my man," said a philanthropist, to a hard-looking chap confined in the Paisley prison, "what are ye in fort?"
"I'm in for thirty days, I reckon," said the prisoner, sullenly.
"No, not that; what offense did you commit?"
"Didn't commit anything. The Judge committed me."
"Well, you must have been accused of some crime!"
"O yps., I was accused of trying to get on the police."
"Nonsense! Trying to get on the police is no crime! I have myself recommended several men for positions on the police force."
"It is a fact. That was all I was sent here for. You see there were two of us, and we both tried to get on the same policeman. We had him down, but some of the other peelers thought we were crowding the man too hard, and—"
"That will do, sir," said the philanthropist. "I understand your case perfectly. Here are a few pamphlets and a copy of Scottish Blue Bells for the improvement of your mind, which appears to be a little warped."

The Kraiser's Great Wentith.
William II is at this moment the richest sovereign of Europe. As emperor of Germany he does not receive a thaler towards his expenses. The reichstag, however, votes him every year the sum of 2,600,000 marks under the heading, "funds placed at the disposition of the emperor for distribution." Of this amount, and according to minute calculations which have been submitted to the reichstag, 2,467,000 marks are given to invalids who did not receive state pensions after the great war of 1870.
As king of Prussia he hry had until recently 12,218,299 marks a year, derived from two sources—namely, 7,178,299 marks revenue from crown lands and forests, and 4,500,000 marks voted by the chamber as necessary to the maintenance of royal dignity. This sum was quite sufficient for William I, but his grandson has larger views and cannot do with his grandsire's allowance, so the Prussian landtag has given him a supplementary 3,500,000 marks, making his civil list in all £800,000.
The Whittier Reform school now has 325 boys and seventy-five girls. The superintendent refuses to receive any more until more room is provided. Superior judges, police judges and justices of the peace should learn whether a child will be admitted before committing. As children are dismissed others will be admitted, thus keeping the number at 400.
